The city's white and gleaming in the snow
Ice flowers everywhere I look
Somehow everything's a little prettier
Every heart's somehow a little bigger
Like every year, everybody's here
Mulled wine at the Christmas market
Familiar faces all around
The same feeling as always
And on the way back home I notice
There's light in every window
And everyone's together
Feels like being a kid again
And the world pauses for a moment
There's hope inside our hearts
Everything that divides us gets small
Why can't it, all year long
Feel a little like Christmas?
Feel a little like Christmas?
We often can't see
What's really important
Already stressed by tiny problems
How little we actually need
To believe in the good again
And maybe it's just a Christmas dream
But don't you sometimes wish too
That we'd all take a little less
And give a little more instead
And then I see as I walk through the streets
There's light in every window
And everyone's together
Feels like being a kid again
And the world pauses for a moment
There's hope inside our hearts
It's easier for us to forgive
Why can't it, all year long
Feel a little like Christmas?
There's hope inside our hearts
And everything that divides us gets small
Why can't it, all year long
Feel a little like Christmas?

SONG MEANING

Close your eyes and step into a snow-dusted German town: white rooftops sparkle, the Christmas market steams with Glühwein, and every window glows like a tiny lantern of hope. In “Ein Bisschen Weihnachten,” Sophia captures that magical moment when everything suddenly feels kinder and brighter, as if the whole world has pressed pause so we can be kids again. Familiar faces, bigger smiles, and hearts that seem to grow alongside the icicle-flowers turn the ordinary streets into a winter fairy-tale.

Yet beneath the twinkling lights lies a gentle reminder. Sophia asks why this warmth, forgiveness, and generosity can’t last beyond the holiday rush. She highlights how easily we get stressed by “little problems,” forgetting how little we really need to start believing in the good again. The chorus’s repeated question—“Warum kann es nicht das ganze Jahr ein bisschen Weihnachten sein?”—invites us to carry the season’s spirit through all twelve months: taking less, giving more, and letting hope outshine whatever divides us.
